The Perfect Game tells the story of college juniors, Cassie Andrews & Jack Carter. When Cassie meets rising baseball hopeful Jack, she is determined to steer clear of him and his typical cocky attitude. But Jack has other things on his mind… like getting Cassie to give him the time of day.

They’re both damaged, filled with mistrust and guarded before they find one another (and themselves) in this emotional journey about love and forgiveness. Strap yourselves for a ride that will not only break your heart, but put it back together.

Sometimes life gets ugly before it gets beautiful…

Review

Overall, I did enjoy this book. While it is not something that I would rave to my friends about and insist they buy, it was a good story.

It seems to me that there was a missed opportunity. I would have loved to hear more about Cassie’s history. I don’t think that what we hear of her past justifies the level of mistrust and overall “broken-ness” that she displays.

This is a very angst filled book, which I do not mind, but the angst did not always feel genuine. Not to mention I spent about 80% of the book want to kick Jack in the face and shake Cassie until her teeth chattered.

I really did not like the end at all. It felt so anticlimactic and rushed.
